#lock

2 posts2 participants0 posts today

Just passed through a lock full of large, floating branches—the size that sticks (pun) in lock paddles and prevents them from closing, so the lock leaks and cannot refill (serious issue).

Five minutes with a pole and hook cleared the lock chamber. The wood went into the hedgerow to close a gap.

Happy to do casual preventative maintenance so Canal & River Trust can do the more serious stuff.

This has been driving me nuts...

In
#Windows, to #lock the #screen you do Windows+L.

In
#LinuxMint #Cinnamon, Windows+L opens up "Looking Glass".

To lock your screen in LinuxMint you have to do
Ctrl+Alt+L.

I'm sure whoever came up with this combination wanted to differentiate LinuxMint from Windows so they picked an entirely different
#keyboard #shortcut.

(Except
Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, and Ctrl+V all work as you would expect.)

Fortunately, it's pretty easy to change the keyboard shortcuts.

It's just a royal pain in the ass to have to do so.

LinuxMint should have adopted the same shortcut that Windows uses. Especially to make things easier for people that migrate to Mint from Windows.
